Label TextFrederic Gruger was one of the most prolific and expert artists in black and white media, which he mastered early in his career as a newspaper illustrator. Here, a young Massachusetts professor in the Union Army suffers an assault and is cared for by (and falls in love with) a young Richmond woman. Fiction about the Civil War, often centering on romantic complications, was popular well into the twentieth century.
